The moment Gale left, Shawn snorted in disdain."Daddy, what happened?""He's just trying to gain some sympathy points. Otherwise, why would he give those herbs for no reason?" Shawn said.Nicole could not understand.Shawn put her on his lap. "Nicole, do you like Uncle Lefting?""Yes!""Do you like him more than me?"Nicole was stunned at the question.After a long moment, she said, "Why would I choose between you too?Shawn finally realized that his jealousy was showing too much. He let out a cough and forgot about it.If Gale knew about it, she would definitely call him childish. Very quickly, Gale came back with a smile on her face. She brought the herbs into the kitchen. "The doctor said it was good, as long as it's not in excess."Shawn scoffed again.It looked like Aurum had not been that casual with the gift. He had probably made sure that Nicole could eat it first.Aurum was showing a lot of care.If Aurum was not going to get married to Natalie, and if the new
Shawn gently put his hand on her back.Nicole said, "Daddy, you can't do that. Even I can shower by myself. You're already so old. How could you make Mommy do that?""Okay, I'll shower by myself.""Shawn!" Gale could no longer stand it. "Can you just eat properly? Stop talking while you're eating!""Fine."Gale started to put food on his plate.He did not reject it. He would eat all of it no matter how much she gave him.She would stuff him to death!Gale warned, "You're not allowed to take cold showers. If you get sick and the surgery is delayed, then I won't let you off. From tomorrow onwards, you're not allowed to drink this soup!"Men were normally already so hotblooded. He often felt like a furnace when she slept with him at night.If he really did start getting nosebleeds…If he really could not hold back…Shawn ate slowly. "Alright, I'll listen to you. You're the master of this house."Gale felt like punching something.However, she could not say anything and was f
Shawn was filled with heartache.Just thinking about Gale standing alone in the hospital with Nicole in hand, panicking without anyone to rely on, made his heart twist in pain.When the two of them needed him, he was not there.A man needed to protect his own woman!"It's all my fault. When I had Nicole, I didn't properly take care of myself. She was unhealthy from the moment I still had her. Her immune system is so bad. I'm to blame for this." Gale blamed herself.The only fortunate thing was that Joshua was very healthy. He could jump and run around without any worry. Any time he got a cold, he would be better after a hot shower and a good night's rest.Shawn consoled, "How could anyone blame you? Galey, you're already a very strong and capable mother."Furthermore, Gale had still been with him during the early stages of the pregnancy.She had been filled with worry and despair.On top of that, jumping into the sea would definitely have affected the pregnancy. The fact that
Nicole's illness made him worry, but from another perspective, Shawn felt glad about it. If Nicole did not have leukemia, it was possible that he would never have known that Gale was still alive and that he had such a cute and lively daughter.It was unfortunate but lucky at the same time.Nicole was fast asleep on her bed, with needle marks on her shoulder.Gale personally put the charms under her bed."Nicole, after tomorrow, your illness will leave you forever. You can become a free and healthy little kid, and you'll be able to grow up strong."She lightly kissed Nicole on the forehead. The most tender love in the world was the love of a mother to her children."Mommy…" Nicole mumbled in her sleep before drifting off again.Shawn's heart softened at the sight.Gale was the love of his life.Nicole was the continuation of his life.They were both the most important things he had, and he could not do without either of them.That night, both Shawn and Gale did not sleep.
Summer held her hand. "We'll keep you company. I'm Nicole's godmother. There's no way I can miss out on this." Joe said, "And I'm Nicole's godfather."Summer was confused. "When did this happen?"Joe asked, "What? With my relationship with Shawn, don't I have the right to be her godfather? If you can be her godmother, can't I be her godfather?"It sounded reasonable.Yet, why did she feel like it was so weird?Before she could understand it, Gale said, "Godparents should be a pair. Are you two a pair?"Summer suddenly understood.She knew something was wrong!Summer said, "Joe, you were trying to take advantage of me! I was almost fooled!"Joe was stunned as well. He never even thought about that. "When was I trying to take advantage of you? You're the godmother, and I'm the godfather. Why does there need to be a relationship between us?"Those two had been bickering from the start.However, as they bickered on, Gale did not feel as heavy-hearted.She said, "If Nicole ask
He even made it known that whoever managed to get pregnant with Shawn's child would be able to do anything they wanted to the Wood family. He would give them anything!Yet, Shawn's will was too firm. Even though women threw themselves at him, not a single person managed to succeed. To the rich and noble, children was the continuation of their line. How could Lucas allow his family to end with Shawn?After so long, Nicole finally appeared. Even if she were a girl, Lucas would not let her go easily."Luckily, they don't know about Joshua. Otherwise, you would have really just helped the Wood family raise a child for four years and ended up with nothing for yourself," Peter said.Gale's expression sank. "Dad, let's take it one step at a time. If Nicole wants to stay behind, I'll respect her choice.""Nicole is still young. No matter how mature she is, she's just a child. She doesn't understand what it all means. She'll just feel that being with her father doesn't mean she'll lose h
Winnie clenched her fists excitedly.Natalie had instructed Winnie that once Nicole's surgery was over and the anesthesia wore off, she needed to be by Nicole's bed when she opened her eyes.Furthermore, she had to be the first person Nicole saw!As she looked at Nicole, Winnie needed to constantly say, "I'm your mommy, I'm your mommy, I'm your mommy."That way, Nicole will see Winnie as her mother!It sounded mysterious and magical, but that was exactly what Natalie asked Winnie to do.Winnie could not understand how it was done.Based on what she knew, Natalie had never even approached Gale and only gave her some herbs.Could those herbs be special?"Aurum?"Suddenly, Natalie's expression changed. "Why is he here?!"Natalie, who had been calm the whole time, immediately started to panic when she saw Aurum's car.Natalie immediately started the car. "No, he'll notice me. Let's go!"She pulled down her cap and sped on from the other exit.Aurum stopped in front of the hos
Children are just ignorant and annoying.The entrance of the operating room was silent. Everyone was waiting patiently. No one noticed that Aurum and Joshua were there in the stairway, separated by a wall.Time passed slowly.As time passed, everyone got more worried.Gale could not eat nor drink, and she did not know if they would survive.Finally, the lights in the operating room went off!Gale stood up immediately, but her eyes went black because it was too sudden.She swayed."What's wrong, Gale?""It's okay." She closed her eyes and walked quickly to the door of the operating room, expecting the doctor to appear.The doctor came out and took off the mask.The doctor said, "Congratulations, the operation was successful. It went very well!"Gale was stunned for a second, then laughed happily.She smiled gleefully with tears in her eyes.Tears of joy!"Great, great. Nicole is finally a healthy child..." Gale muttered to herself. "Yes, now she just needs to take a goo
